I removed the following nit as they do not belong in an encyclopedia as per consensus. You can discuss it here. Enjoy. --From Andoria with Love 08:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The episode is clearly written as if all of the action is taking place in a single city. This is most notable since Kirk and Spock drive in a 1930s automobile, back and forth between the mob HQs of the two largest gang powers, in a relatively short span of time. On a planetary scale, however, this creates a problem since in the beginning of the episode it is stated that Krako and Oxmyx have the largest territories in the world. It would therefore not make sense that thier headquarters would be located anywhere close to each other and could quite probably be situated in different cities if not on different contineants.

It seems that the script revision of 1967-10-31 actually lists the guy's name as Okmyx, like the poster. So the quote about the poster being misspelt may not be true, if the Okmyx was the actual spelling in the scripts? — Harryusrtlk 10:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

See talk:Bela Okmyx. I took what was written on this page and moved it to Bela Okmyx's background (more of a direct "issue" there, than an indirect "issue" here) and rewrote it to include several sources that use the former spelling. --Alan 18:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

"I kind of like this. I'm going to get one myself."
"Captain, you are an excellent starship commander, but as a taxi driver you leave much to be desired."
"It was that bad?"

- Kirk and Spock, on his first attempt at driving a car

"Out of the mouth of babes."
"Who you callin' a babe?"
"I'm callin' you a babe."
"You callin' me a babe?"
"I'm ca– I'm callin' you a babe, but it's nothing personal."

- Kirk and the Tough Kid

"Must we?"
"It's faster than walking."
"But not as safe..."
"Are you afraid of cars?"
"Not at all. It's your driving that alarms me."
"I've got the hang of it now."

- Spock and Kirk, before another try at an automobile

Kirk: "Alright Bones, in the language of the planet: 'What's your beef?'"
McCoy: "Well I don't know how serious this is, Jim, and I don't know quite how to tell you..."
Kirk: "Go ahead."
McCoy: "Well, in all the confusion, I..."
Kirk: "Tell me."
McCoy: "I think I left it in Bela's office."
Kirk: "You left it?"
McCoy: "Somewhere, I'm not certain."
Kirk: "You're not certain of what?"
McCoy: "I left my communicator."
Kirk: "In Bela's office?"
Spock: "Captain, if the Iotians, who are a bright and imitative people, should take that communicator apart..."
Kirk: "They will. They will. They'll find out how the transtator works."
Spock: "The transtator is the basis for every important piece of equipment we have."
Kirk: "Everything. Everything."
McCoy: "You really think it's that serious?"
Kirk: "Serious? Serious, Bones? It upsets the whole percentage."
McCoy: "How do you mean?"
Kirk: "Well, in a few years, the Iotians may demand a piece of our action!"

The radio station where Spock adapts the transmitter to reach the Enterprise is a broadcast station. It would not be set up for reception. Realistically, transmitting to the Enterprise would take a few minutes of adjustment. Adapting to receive would take some time and probably render the transmitter nonfunctional.
